jumping in here..i'm pro-choice, but i don't mind the pics of abortion, either. it is what it is. its reality. nothing drives it home like glossy photograph. if my ds happened to see a pic of an aborted fetus, would i lie to him, or smooth over the truth because he's child? no, i wouldn't.

Irony at it's very best!! The ones that they are protesting, are the very ones that gave their lives, to make us a "free" country in order to give them all those rights! I find it very sad and just another way that mankind uses God's name to do horrible, wicked things. I saw a protester with a sign that said "God hates faggots", really, is that necessary? What gives them the right to make up statements like that?!? I would like a reference page stapled to the back of all of their cruel signs. I would like to know if he interviewed God on this, or if he read it in the Bible. If so, then how/where? What's God's thought on people who disrespect one of his creations, as they are being laid to a final rest. Is he be okay with all the disrespect the loved ones have to endure?? I could go on and on, but I will get off the soapbox and let someone else use it..I'm Agnostic myself, but what these people do, disgust me so!

But when does the rights of one impede on the rights of others? Do these families not have the right to privately mourn a loss without the hate-mongering rhetoric of these people being shouted in their ears and shoved in their faces? I agree that freedom of speech is a wonderful thing, but when is the line crossed from free speech to harrassment of these families?

Although I would say most people find them just vile pieces of trash. The question that has to be asked is where would it stop? Would it continue on to something that you support?

For example I respect that people can peacefully protest abortion however I don't feel like they should use pictures of abortion. My feeling is my kid doesn't need to see that as we are driving down the road and it offends me. I don't know where you fall on that issue it was just the one that was on the top of my head.

dullscissors That was my point it offends me but not you so it cases like that who is right? Would we ask the court to make that decision on Freedom of speech and from there it continues and where does it stop?
